CLARK, Pampanga: Low-budget carrier Cebu Pacific on Friday launched new routes from Clark International Airport to Bacolod City in Negros Occidental province, Iloilo City in Iloilo province and the Japanese city of Narita in a bid to stimulate growth in North and Central Luzon.
Flights from Clark to Bacolod and Iloilo happen daily, while those to and from Narita are scheduled every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.
“The opening of these new routes is a testament of how committed we are to continuously develop this hub,” Cebu Pacific President and Chief Executive Officer Lance Gokongwei said.
“We are not only establishing seamless inter-island connections, but also opening up North Luzon to more potential entrepreneurs, both local and foreign, furthering tourism, trade and investment opportunities in Clark and its surrounding areas,” he added.
With the addition of these routes in the Clark gateway, the airline expects to capture 28 percent of the total number of seats offered by all carriers operating there.
These routes, together with forthcoming daily Clark-Puerto Princesa flights that will start by the fourth quarter, will bolster Cebu Pacific’s total capacity in Clark by 40 percent this year alone.
Cebu Pacific currently flies to four other domestic destinations from Clark — Cebu; Caticlan, Aklan province; Tagbilaran City, Bohol province; and Davao — and three international ones, namely Singapore, Macau and Hong Kong.
“As we aim to fly 200 million passengers by 2020; and 300 million by 2022, trust that we have been and will always keep our customers at the heart of the business. Rest assured, we will continue to cater to the growing travel demand by enabling more Juans to travel conveniently and affordably through our year-round low fares,” Gokongwei said.
